So the 2010 Pokémon World Champion is a Rush fan

Today I was watching the 2010 Pokemon World Championship finals (yeah, they were awesome so STFU) and noticed the winning dude's PKMN had Rush songs as nicknames and thought it made it TWICE as awesome.

So have you ever found some fans of bands you also like in places you didn't even expect to find them?

Tell me, since I can't be bothered watching the video, do the pros use attacks like growl and leer? I always just went for the biggest damage in the shortest time.

Well kinda, competitive players use attacks like Swords Dance, Agility or Nasty Plot to heighten their own PKMN's stats. If they use a move to lower the opponent's stats it's to cause a PKMN switch most of the time (cause the stat's go back to normal when switched out).

I still play it. I've been playing Heart Gold recently, it's a great way to pass the time when there's nothing else to do. What's the problem with that? I mean it's not like I go around introducing myself as a huge Pokemon fan to everyone or anything.

Not to mention the majority of the Pit seems to be obsessed with Pokemon...
